Thank you for the insight. I feel like I now have a better understanding of 2000 years ago.

Bashing? I think we can discuss specific issues without it rising to the level of "bashing." I.E. Saying "Christians are stupid" would be bashing. Comparing the actions of Christian institutions to the teachings of Christ would not be bashing. In fact . . . I'm not sure why Christians would object to that sort of comparison. It seems like it would be quite helpful. I don't deal with many Muslims. In fact . . . I can't remember the last time I even talked to a Muslim. I'd be able to offer much more helpful commentary about Islam if I interacted with it on a daily basis. Plus the added fact that I'm very familiar with the Bible and very unfamiliar with the Koran, etc. Anyways. If you are well-versed in Islam please don't hesitate to show us why the extremists/terrorists are acting against the teachings of Mohammed. You were just being constructive...I get it.

You're talking about Isaiah 14:21, right? or maybe Ezekiel 9:5-7 Deuteronomy 22:28–29?? circumcision? I'm sorry...who are we talking about again? 'Cause both seem like insane religions. I must admit that your response is very good. Unforetunately, you have once again side stepped the issue. You cite verses that are thousands of years old, but neglet to aknowledge that lack of civility noted in those acts are continuing to this day. Those acts are not being performed by Christians. Are you arguing that Muslims are following the Bible or are you still trying to bash Christianity?....I'm not sure. Again, it's only 'progressive' to bash Christians. Comparing circumcision to clitoridectomy is just plain lazy as far as I'm concerned.

How about the religion of peace? You know the one were you strap a bomb to your chest and go into a daycare. The one that treats women as slaves. The one that mutilates womens sexual organs. That one that is involved in nearly every major conflict on this planet. I'm pretty sure that is in the readings. You're a big 'progressive' right? Nevermind, it's way more mainstream to question those dirty christians.

It's a lot easier to pick a few things that the gross minority have done and make it the norm. Par for the course.

What then? The professional black men. Your attempt to bate me into a racial conundrum shows you missed the point I was getting at. Three white "thugs" intimidate me equally as three black "thugs", given their clothing and mannerisms are constant. It's the culture itself that breads the stereotypes. You left out that you have a black friend.

I made a bad choice a few years back and bought a real nice house that was surrounded by a real bad areas. Later made sense as to why it was cheap. Several houses in our neighborhood started getting broken into. Many in the neighborhood saw individuals they considered suspicious. One morning (real early), on my way to work, I left my home to see a young individual riding a bike. It didn't make a lot of sense to me. As he rode past my house, I grew a little concerned. I got in my car and caught up with him. I politely asked him how he was doing. I told him I hadn't seen him before and asked if he was new in the neighborhood. This conversation went on for about 30 more seconds before there was a gun in my face. Had my neighbor not walked around the corner with her dog, I'd probably be done. He shot at my neighbor and took off running. I have little doubt that she saved my life. All because some teen hood dirtbag was looking for someone/someplace to make trouble. I followed this puke because I left my house with my wife and kids inside it. I took a lot of crap for the way I handled this situation. I had a lot of people ask me why I confronted the kid. I couldn't drive away from my front neighborhood wondering if my family was in danger. You can go and hide or you can address the problem. None of you will ever know what I went through just because I asked what was going on. It is the only time in my life I have seen true hate and anger in someone's eyes. I don't know what happened with Trayvon and Zimmerman, but neither do any of you. I just get a kick out of the media showing every baby faced 13 year old picture of Trayvon they can get their hands on. They fail to add that he is was 6'4" and 17 years old. No problem showing Zimmerman in his jumpsuit.

Defendant 1 A radical Muslim that had been showing signs of problems for months kills 13, one a pregnant women, US service members and wounds another 24 on a US Army base in the continental United States. Defendant 2 A US combat veteren that had served 4 different tours of duty and allegidly suffered a head injury in one kills 17 Afghan citizens and wounds another 6. 1. Who gets more jail time? 2. Are Afghan lives worth more than US service members? 3. Which, if either, will go to trial? 4. Why was Defendant 2 charged so quickly?

True it isn't his fault that he's constantly being shown in the media those types of situations. But it does get annoying to be constantly seeing it when trying to watch the news, sports or news paper. To me its almost gotten to the point where it's as annoying as jehova witnesses knocking on your door. Cool he's religious and wants to show his praise. Thats good it keeps them being a good citizen. But doesn't mean that I and others need to be constantly reminded of it. I'm a religious person to. I don't go to church every sunday nor say my prayers before going to bed every night. I do the best I can to treat people right and to be the best person I can truely be. But I don't wear religious gear or praise him all the time, acting like my god is the one and only. Or even that my beliefs are better than someone elses. I use to be completely annoyed by Tebow not because of religion but because he seemed like that annoying relative (bother, cousin) that could always do something better than you could. I think he has become an underdog. I get tired of people complaining about his religion. He doesn't publish or write the stories about himself. His character is consistent and people bash him for it. I am not a fan of his game, but I am a fan of the man. I am a Tebow supporter. Edit: To be fair, both said push the religion way too far...it's not the guy's fault. One said said he's over the top while the other says he's a crusader. I happen to disagree with both. This message was paid for by the Citizens to Stop Ignorance. We are not affiliated with Tim Tebow in any way.

I'm in the process of moving, so I wasn't able to post as soon as this happened.....I had to get to it eventually. Here is two examples of the exact same article, but with one difference. What a joke. Article 1 Article 2

I don't think Altman is the guy, but I'm pretty sure there is a former Creighton coach now leading a team at Nebraska that is doing pretty well.

I started this thread asking 'Where is the ACLU?'. I might be a righty, but I'm fair. I have to give to the ACLU for atleast looking into the Anwar al-Awlaki case. There is little question that Anwar al-Awlaki is a terrorist dirtbag that got what he deserved, but the whole situation initiates an interesting dilemma….If an individual(s) within the government deem an American citizen is a terrorist, do they not receive a trial? Can they lawfully be assasinated?

I don't think you will see women in UFC either, but he will figure out a way to 'use' her to benefit the UFC. She isn't like the other female fighters that I have seen. The princess (I am aware of Tate's long wrestling-fighting history) that she destroyed yesterday is more what I am use to. This chick is a beast.

Anyone see her tear that girls arm apart on Strikeforce tonight? I read about the fight in USA Today so I thought I would catch it tonight. She looks like an absolute beast that has no idea how to fight fight 'MMA Style' yet. You can tell she is a freak of nature. She is pretty decent looking and I imagine the way Dana White whores out athletes we will be seeing a lot more of her mainstream pretty soon.

I never see Nascar discussion on Huskerboard. Everyone thinks I'm a redneck because I follow Nascar....Oh Well. I was at the race in Daytona. Pretty decent time. Why bad camera coverage? For me it is pretty simple. It was under caution. I imagine that the camera operators are not filming a single car driving down the back stretch while the yellow is out. Had it been under green, I'm positive there would be footage. Chad Knaus being more careful? He has been caught far fewer times than he has actually cheated. Remember...you are not cheating until you get caught.

edit...nevermind, not worth it.

I don't think it is intentional at all. It's more sad if you ask me. This isn't even close to the first time.

I'm going to sit this one out and see where it goes. http://online.wsj.co...=googlenews_wsj

Apology accepted for taking us all through those many pages of unproductive blabbering because you decided to argue the criminal side even though I said on page 1 that I ONLY thought it'd go civil. Why do I have to prove my case for civil? I simply said/think it'd go civil and that I don't think he should be allowed to carry a gun. I've been trying to just have a normal discussion on it...but you just want a pissing contest...and going by this last post of "prove your case" you still do. I'm starting to think you've developed a crush on me. Move this to the woodshed for all I care..... Catusboy...You may have just moved to yourself into the sole possesion of the biggest 'Tool' on Huskerboard. You struggle comprehending not only what others write, but also the babble that YOU convey. You insulted two members of the board, never answered any questions and now think you need an apology. You take it a step further by showing that once your ignorance is exposed that another dude must have a 'crush' on you. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul. Never did I think I would side with Carlfense, but he served you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9kpTvm6CYA

Fox News use to be the station that was played at my work, so I don't hardly see him anymore. He may or may not be good. I can't get past how he looks like Frankenstein.

I would encourage you to go back and watch starting at about 0:50 where the lady talks about an era of athletes with egos, drug and violence problems Tebow is refreshing. I find it ironic that in our so called 'ultra tolerant' society, that we bag on a guy because he acknowledges Jesus Christ as his savior. I would be shocked if Tebow left his pregnant wife (Tom Brady) to upgrade to a hotter version. I would be caught of guard if Tebow was running an illegal dog fighting ring (Michael Vick). I would be dissapointed if Tebow had multiple accusations of groping women (Big Ben). It would be wierd if he was charged with breaking into a home to steal prescription painkillers (Ryan Leaf). That's just QB's. For those that are interested, you may want to look here . People don't like Tebow because he is 'Flanders'. I googled 'Tebow Flanders' and got the following picture. I guess I'm not the only one that thinks so.
